I don't know where to start. First of all, "ever hear of spell check"? How can a book go to print with so many errors. Especially sad when it's a computer book. I found numerous inaccuracies and miscomprehention by the author in the area of basic topics. This isn't a novel. The reason you buy a textbook is to learn answers. Being told the wrong answer is both frustrating and time consuming.

My synopsis: there are much better books on the market than this one. Don't waste your money!

Although it is at times a superficial summary of networking, the book accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is to introduce the newcomer or relative newcomer to networks. It accomplishes its goal well by providing an intelligent, articulate and PAINLESS way to ease into the fundamental concepts. Good job.

Strong Netware bias-you'd think Novell underwrote the book. Absolutely critical of NT, OS/2. A lot of repetition and typos out the wahzoo, to include incorrect answers in the answer keys. Overall a good introduction but aging fast.

This is one of the best easy-reading books I have ever read. This book is good especially for those who treat English as their secondary language. Easy understand, clear concept, no "rubbish" material, cover all topics u want to know.

100% good for network dummy

Boring
